Does evolution happen on a genetic level?

Yes. The basic definition of evolution depends on changes in the frequency of alleles in a population.


What is the word for the definition genetic change in population over time?

Long time = evolution. Short time = mutation.


What genetic change is always a result of evolution?

Evolution is not a cause of genetic change: it is the effect of genetic change.


What is the modern definition of evolution based on population genetics?

The modern definition of evolution works at the level of genes, phenotypes and populations whereas Darwinism was mainly concerned with organisms, speciation and individuals. According to the modern definition of evolution, the populations evolve by changes in gene frequency brought about by random genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection. This change is gradual.


Is gene mutation within a species know as micro evolution?

Genetic mutation is one of the mechanisms for evolution.Micro-evolution by definition means very small changes in allele frequency (gene mutation).


What is a good definition of evolution?

A random change in a population's allele frequency?

Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. By mutation, genetic drift, gene flow and natural selection.


Are adaptation genetic?

Yes, physical adaptions are genetic, it's called evolution.


Generation-to-generation change in allele frequencies in a population is?

The term used to describe the generation-to-generation change in allele frequencies of a population is simply evolution. Simple answer for a complicated-looking question. ;) Hope this helps.


Changes in the genetic makeup?

Organic evolution.


Does polyploidy provide genetic basis in evolution?

no


Why would evolution crease if the entire population had the same genetic makeup?

Yes. Without variation in organisms for natural selection to choose from there would be no change in allele frequency over time in the population of organisms under discussion. This is the definition of evolution, so without change over time, no evolution.
